Thought Garage

It always intrigues me that traditionally in India (and in fact most of the world) we try to remember and talk only about the better half of a person once the person is gone, while we always spend talking about the other half when the person is in front of us. And often talk behind a person. Why can’t we treat a person as the person really is, no matter in front of that person or behind or once passed away. Can a really bad person becomes a lot better person just by death? I believe, you show your true respects by treating a person by the true nature always , as you perceive. Its lot more important to express those feelings when the person is in front of us. Good or bad, is relative and fleeting. Anyways, the EENADU news paper that has always (most times) criticized quite vehemently has an eulogy that is worth noting. Here it is.

As per latest News reports, a helicopter carrying Andhra Pradesh CM YS Raja Sekhar Reddy went missing without any communication for about  9 hours now. Suspected mechanical failure with Helicopter. Update : News reports now confirm that YSR along with 4 others died in the helicopter accident.

It is very surprising these days, why people are turning up so heavily to Political road shows, in most cases, irrespective of the political party. Thought, many people just want to come see their matinee idol's real face when they poured in to Chiranjeevi's meetings. But quite baffled to see similar (but not equal) response to every other political meeting. Political polarization? Want to just watch how it goes? or signs of political action?
